The Chalet offers families and groups a more affordable way to stay in a less-than-affordable prime location on the mountain. We are not newly renovated but we are sparkling clean, super cozy & comfortable and a family favorite! You’ll enjoy the most spectacular Ocean, Mountain and Valley views from a huge deck accessed by 2 sets of French doors. On a clear day you’ll have an Eagles eye view of Catalina Island, San Clemente Islands and all the way down to Baja, past the San Diego Skyline.
The Chalet is not upscale with granite and marble, it is clean and charming with an emphasis on comfortable & cozy! We are well appointed and totally focused on providing the best location and amenities at the lowest price for larger families and groups. We provide a lot of amenities during your stay and we don’t stress over childrens fingerprints or Fido’s nose smudges on the French doors…our cleaner has you covered at the end of your stay. We offer a tranquil, stress-free, cozy and comfortable place to decompress and unwind.
Although the property is unfenced, we welcome most dogs without a fee, so if Fido is a member of your family or group, do consider bringing them too! All well behaved dogs are welcome to stay with us. Just make sure to include Fido in your reservation.

Guests have sole access to the entire 2,400 sq ft chalet and the entire 6 acres of land from where the driveway begins to loop. The carport and grey cabin are not part of your rental and as such, you do not have permission to enter either. Please do not park in the carport.
Other things to note:
There is 1 operational security camera located at the front door, in the form of a Ring doorbell which records both visually and audibly. This camera is facing the driveway and is actively recording 24/7 during your stay. There are no cameras on the deck where our guests hang out nor are there any inside the chalet. We take your safety as well as your privacy very seriously.

We are constantly upgrading at the chalet so photos may show items not yet upgraded. For example, we now have leather couches and we replace bedding and quilts quite often.
We planted daffodils for all guests to enjoy in Spring. Please don’t pick them.
There are 2 bedroom’s and bathrooms downstairs and there is a 13 step staircase inside the chalet that takes you up to the 2nd level. There are 3 wooden steps from the upper deck to the lower deck. Please see photos if stairs are an issue for anyone in your group.
Ground squirrels, moles and gophers live around and on the property. These animals dig holes and tunnels in the ground, making it uneven, and creating holes. Walking only on
paved areas and the deck will help to prevent falls or injury.
We do not allow hunting or harassment of wild animals on the property. Dogs must be leashed at all times.
BB guns and their pellets or ammunition are not permitted. All other firearms must remain under the supervision and control of the owner at all times.
Wild (and potentially dangerous) animals live on the mountain and therefore may be present at the property. Mountain lions, bobcats, coyote, snakes, ticks and a myriad of other wildlife are frequent visitors. Deer, squirrels and wild Turkey are of course, our favorites!
Poison oak is present on the mountain and on the property. Please view the red binder or do an internet search so everyone in your group knows what it looks like and is able to avoid coming in contact with it. The leaves may be green or red and after fall, just bare vine is visible. Leaves of three, let them be!
Well behaved dogs are always welcome as long as they are registered as guests. We do not charge a pet fee for dogs that are permitted to stay. We do charge $150 for all dogs that show up unannounced. It’s vital that you add your dog(s) to the reservation. Please note, the property is unfenced. Sorry, we are unable to accommodate cats at this time.
